    Hi everyone,

    One thing I’ve noticed is that exotic names naturally attract attention and curiosity. While that can be positive, I wonder if it ever becomes overwhelming. I came across an interesting list of exotic names and many of them sound beautiful and powerful. 

    Do people with exotic names enjoy standing out, or do they sometimes wish for a simpler name? I’d really appreciate hearing perspectives from both parents and individuals with unique names.
